  • "I have been using hearing aids for serveral years. My hearing became so bad that I could not hear on the telephone. I tried to get help from several different hearing aid companies. None were able to help my hearing. I went to Mountain Empire Hearing and Jennifer worked with me. I am now able to hear much better and able to use the telephone."
